  1. Set a budget and prioritize

    Before starting any renovation project, set a budget and prioritise the things you want to renovate. Make a list of necessary repairs and upgrades and work on those first. This way, you can ensure you spend money on things that really matter.

  2. DIY as much as possible

You can save a lot of money by doing things yourself instead of hiring professionals. Simple tasks like painting, installing shelves or new fixtures, or even laying tiles can be done by most people with some basic DIY skills. Just be sure to research and prepare properly, and always put safety first.

3. Look for deals and discounts

Be on the lookout for sales, discounts, and clearance items when shopping for renovation supplies. Online marketplaces and local classifieds are great places to find bargains. Also, consider shopping for second-hand or repurposed items, such as antique furniture or reclaimed wood.

4. Focus on cosmetic changes

Instead of doing major structural changes, focus on cosmetic changes that can make a big impact. Painting walls, adding new lighting fixtures, changing curtains, and replacing old hardware can give your home a fresh look and feel, without costing a lot of money.

5. Don't overlook small repairs

Don't let small repairs turn into big problems. Fixing small problems like leaky faucets, loose doorknobs, or cracked tiles can prevent bigger and more expensive issues from arising later. So, be sure to address small repairs as soon as possible.
